The Bermuda Triangle's mystery

One of the few mysteries we haven't solved is the Bermuda Triangle mythology. How many eerie tales of ships and airplanes going missing in the Bermuda Triangle have you heard? The Bermuda Triangle is a sizable region in the Atlantic Ocean between Florida, Puerto Rico, and Bermuda. It's called a Triangle of Death, where more than 50 ships and 20 airplanes are claimed to have mysteriously vanished. The area, whose boundaries are not universally agreed upon, has a triangular shape and extends roughly from the Atlantic coast of Florida to Bermuda to the Greater Antilles islands.

There have been many theories about why everything happens in that area, starting from water spouts to aliens and even sea monsters, but those were only theories. This region is notorious for its mysterious phenomena; a great number of ships and planes have vanished here, earning it the nickname "the devil's triangle." All those mythical vanishings happened under unknown and unexplained circumstances, and some of the planes and ships have never been found.

The latest tragedy occurred in 2015 when the cargo ship el faro disappeared in this region. The El Faro was a U.S. vessel traveling from Florida to Puerto Rico when it vanished from the radars on October 1, 2015. On October 31st, it was discovered crashed at the bottom of the ocean. Another major incident occurred on June 20, 2005, when the first Piper PA airplane disappeared in the Bermuda Triangle. A second, similar incident occurred on April 10, 2007, when a second Piper PA airplane disappeared near Berry Island with only the pilot on board and no other passengers. Neither plane has ever been located. There were also smaller incidents, including the disappearance of the luxury cabin cruiser Witchcraft that belonged to Burak, who owns a luxury yacht. After a while, the beach guard received a call from Burak who reported that his boat had struck something and needed towing. When the guard arrived at the scene after 20 minutes, they were unable to locate anyone, and the boat, along with Barak and his father, vanished and were never discovered.

Many rumors surround this region, but it appears that the Bermuda Triangle mystery may finally have been solved, at least according to a Science Channel program. American researchers from the University of Colorado examined satellite weather images of this infamous region and discovered a number of peculiar hexagonal clouds on them. The meteorologists hypothesized that these clouds might act like real air bombs which could be the primary cause of the deadly blast of air, which can easily exceed 170 miles per hour. Hurricane-force winds literally blow up the air and can generate waves of more than 45 feet in length. No ship can survive such a storm, and no aircraft can withstand such a wind. Many, if not most, of the disappearances might be explained by environmental factors. The bulk of Atlantic tropical storms and hurricanes pass through the Bermuda Triangle, and these perilous storms claimed many ships in the days before better weather forecasting. Furthermore, the Gulf Stream can create abrupt, even dramatic, shifts in weather. Furthermore, the Caribbean Sea's enormous number of islands generates several places of shallow water that can be hazardous to ship navigation. There is some evidence that the Bermuda Triangle is a location where a "magnetic" compass sometimes points to "true" north rather than "magnetic" north. This theory has sparked a lot of additional research, with scientists from all over the world attempting to figure out what the causes of such anomalies are.
